Ac hose

[Rudy913]

When buying ac hose do I go by if what’s motor in my car now or what it came with from the factory . Factory was a v6 and now it has a 305

If your compressor is in the exact same place as the V6 mode, then you could go either way I would think. But if you had to move it, which is likely, then you would be better off buying for the current application. I'm not sure if the condenser has the hose connections on the passenger side or not. But you might have to do something different there if your current application calls for condenser hookup on the opposite side of where you need.

I really don’t know if the compressor is on the same side but the condenser is on the driver side

I'd probably go with the Monte SS setup...

Go with a hose for a 305 if your condenser has the inlet/outlet on the driver's side. You will need to source a good used liquid line (hard line that runs from the evaporator to the condenser and runs on top of the fan shroud.

I’m having a hard time finding that line .
Every junk yard I go to have the lines on the cars but they are all bent up
Do y’all know where I can find one ?

The one on my car was bent up too, so I tossed it. It would be best to find one locally because I think it will take a big box to ship it because of its shape. Try www.car-part.com to see who has cars near you. You might PM L.A. X-Rated as he's in the southwest, not too far from you.

Is this the line?

It does look like the correct line for a factory Gbody 305 SBC AC set up.
It is the same line that comes in their upgrade kit https://originalair.com/81-88-chevy-g-body-v8-hi-po-engine-compartment-upgrade-kit-134a-stage-2
